Roofing contractors for retail units, parks and sheds

Retail roofs are worked around trading. Supermarkets, retail parks, high street units and big box sheds have deliveries, customers and stock underneath, so the roofing is phased around trading hours, the car park is kept usable and the building is never exposed at close of business.

How we work in this sector

Retail, done the way the building needs

Trading hours and night working

Where the store trades seven days, the noisy and disruptive work moves to early mornings or nights, deliveries are coordinated with the store yard and the roof is left watertight and tidy before the doors open.

Overcladding retail sheds

Big box retail and retail park units are usually profiled metal, and overcladding, gutter lining and rooflight replacement bring them up to standard without closing the store or disturbing an asbestos cement roof.

Flat roof refurbishment

High street and town centre retail with flat roofs is refurbished with overlay or strip and recover systems, cold applied where the units below are trading, with the stockroom and shop floor protected throughout.

Landlord and tenant

We work for retail landlords, asset managers and tenants, and the survey and budget cost are written so both sides can use them in a lease or dilapidations discussion.

Questions

Asked and answered

Can you work while the store is trading?

Yes. Work is phased around trading hours, with out of hours working for the noisy and disruptive parts, and the roof is left watertight before the store opens each day.

How do you manage the car park?

Scaffold, skips and deliveries are positioned with the store manager so that customer parking and delivery bays stay usable, and the site is fenced and signed.

Can you replace rooflights over the shop floor?

Yes. Each opening is protected and the replacement completed within the day, so the sales floor is only affected briefly and never left open.

Do you work for retail landlords?

Yes, for landlords, asset managers and tenants alike, across single units and whole retail parks.

Is a survey free for a retail portfolio?

Yes. Condition surveys with photographs, options and budget costs are provided at no cost, across a single store or a whole portfolio.
